Hi! I love noled. It's probably the most useful utility app on my Nexus S. It's been acting a little strange lately though when reporting how many unread messages are in my inbox.

Here's the situation: I'll have 3 unread messages in my Gmail inbox. NoLED will notify me, and I'll dismiss it. I'll go to Gmail, read one, then leave. Consequently, NoLED pops back up with a notification that I have two unread messages.

Is it having trouble figuring out what messages it's already told me about? I've been using this app for about a year now, and I've recommended it to friends with Nexus S phones. I certainly still love it, but I was wondering if there was something strange happening lately with it.
[Android Apps and Games] yylyyl:
It work on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 with stock ICS ROM.

However, the status bar can't hide! I want to hide it!
[Android Apps and Games] jcasares:
AquaMail developer says this about an issue between your program and his:

Regarding NoLed – yes, I’ve heard about the issue, and since my app uses the standard Android notification system and the other app does something unusual (changing how the operating system works), I feel it’s up to the author of NoLED to fix. Feel free to contact him/her with a request to look into this.

Then I said why I think it's not entirely NoLED fault and I got this response:

My app uses the standard (the only, actually) Android notification functions.

There is no way to affect the order of notifications, the firmware lays them out as it sees fit.

As to why NoLED gets confused – I don’t have the source code for this app, can’t debug it, and anything else would be speculation on my part. I’d rather refrain from that.

This has come up before, and I’ve offered to add some kind of flag to the ongoing notification that could be checked by NoLED (to tell them from new message notifications). Regrettably, got no response.

You can follow the discussion here:

http://www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=22&cpage=8#comment-1466

Is this right? Because I didn't have this issue with Kaiten but that client has a setting to avoid excess notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] dkownacki:
Could someone tell me how the battery life is with this app on?

Tapnięte z mojego SGM2 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm having this issue lately too. I'll need to investigate it. I'll look into it later today.

Status bar can't hide ! sounds like a honeycomb issue. are you sure you're on ICS ? can you attach a screenshot here?

i never received anything from Kaiten's development team. It seem the issue is that NoLED falsely triggers whenever Kaiten is checking for new messages? If that's the case, did you try use the NoLED logger to see if Kaiten's text field is getting populated? If it is, then you can "filter" out unwanted messages so NoLED triggers only on new incoming emails.

see the skype example in the FAQ for details.
[Android Apps and Games] PMoto:
I noticed some battery drain if the screen is ALWAYS on with NoLed notifications. If that's your case, maybe you should turn screen OFF in NoLed settings, and get only sound notifications.

If you will get only some notifications per day, then you will see no difference. ;)

Anyway, it's a MUST HAVE.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've just fixed it. If you want to test it, download 6.0.11b from the OP and let me know your feedback. So far it works as expected on my device with the latest Gmail app.
[Android Apps and Games] riahc3:
Very clever idea :)

BTW, in the first post you should mention that you need a AMOLED screen for this :P This wont work with a LCD...
[Android Apps and Games] les_garten:
Is there anyway to get rid of the Voice when opening folders, etc? I'm on RocketROM ICS.

I've read here and turned off Samsung TTS. I coulfdn't find "Google TTS". Are you talking about "Talkback" in the app management menu?

As mentioned previously, this only happens with NoLED engaged.
[Android Apps and Games] hithere3:
Ok! WIll download and let you know if I have any more issues.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
what about "google text-to-speech engine"? I have that in my list of apps. disable that one and see if the voice is still prompted. that voice issue happens when you enable any app in Accessibility. A samsung bug nevertheless.
[Android Apps and Games] leoserra:
Nice app

Hi,

Great app, I will use this in my next phone with AMOLED screen!
[Android Apps and Games] crimsondr:
This is a great app! I used it extensively on my S2. Now that I've upgraded to the S3 I started using Lightflow instead of this. NoLED seems to be more flexible and informative because you can have all the individual icons showing on the screens instead of just being limited to the LED colours.

I'm almost ready to start using this on my S3!
[Android Apps and Games] les_garten:
DOH! That did it! Thanx!
[Android Apps and Games] dkownacki:
Yeah, must have ;) for now i havent got battery drain, i asked only ;)

btw it's really greate and usefull app, i'm going to use this app for a long time

Tapnięte z mojego SGM2 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
You can also set your notifications to time out at something you think is reasonable. I'm never far from my phone as I can't really put it down ever, but I have mine set to time out after 15 minutes just in case. Of course, that won't work if you get notifications all day.
[Android Apps and Games] jcasares:
The problem is that what I get is empty text from AquaMail. I don't think that can be filtered, can I?

And one suggestion. I restored defaults 3 times already as it's near the Show Log and easy to misplace the click. Wouldn't be better/wise to ask before resetting all the configuration? :p
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Just updated the weather module.

Previously the weather module didn't acquire boot permissions properly. That's why it didn't update the weather automatically after a reboot. This should be taken care of now. I don't know how I've overlooked this. Maybe because I rarely reboot!

Well, if you receive an empty string when it checks emails and something else when it receives an actual email, then this can be filtered. If you receive an empty string at all times, perhaps you should contact their development team and let them have some sort of description text apply to their Notification. This will make it easier for accessibility services and make NoLED magically work with it.

They need to populate the text fields correctly:

if using the deprecated method:

public Notification (int icon, CharSequence tickerText, long when)

They need to put something for "ticketText"

and if using the new method:

new Notification.Builder(mContext)

then they'll need to make use of setContentText() and setContentTitle()

--

I agree that we should have a confirmation dialog for the restore defaults. Here is a temporary workaround though: backup NoLED. Then, every time you hit that button by mistake, restore !
[Android Apps and Games] jcasares:
How can that be done? I will let the developer know about your comment.

That's what I did. :p
[Android Apps and Games] cross3131:
Missed calls from number on "rejected list"

I have a number that i put onto reject list of my samsung S2. The phone rejects the call and not ringing but after the screen is off, the notification light for "missed call" appears. Can you make a development for this issue? (I don't want to see the notification light for certain numbers or numbers on rejected list)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately I can't. There aren't any accessible APIs to distinguish between rejected numbers and missed calls.

Perhaps you can try adding Phone as a monitored app instead of relying on the default Missed Call trigger. This will use the status bar notification to alert you which should work. But I can't guarantee any results.

widow njobit

I am having a problem with this app on my SGSII running cyanogenmod 9. Themes will not install. When I try to open the .zip I get "unknown error." I have also tried to manually extract the files to the theme folder within the NoLED folder. This did not work either. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
strange, can you please tell me what the full path looks like (example: /mnt/sdcard/N

strange, can you please tell me what the full path looks like (example: /mnt/sdcard/NoLED/themes)
[Android Apps and Games] martinjustin:
just D:\NoLED\themes. Its stored on my phones internal storage (no SD)

I have a screenshot if it helps, can't post it on the forums though because I'm a new member.
[Android Apps and Games] lospokedash:
Is there a way I can make the notification icons from moving everywhere?
[Android Apps and Games] pirillo8:
hi all and sorry for my english :)

i had downloaded noled for my galaxy note; it's ok for all use but there is a preoblem to led notification to viber program icon or dot.

Viber icon is on screen always, when the program is stand by, not notification message not read....

can i help me ?

bye

:D
[Android Apps and Games] c627627:
Can the blue dot in the upper right corner be switched OFF?

Can the app just simply run in the background *without* the blue dot being always on? Why is there a need for it for people who have this app permanently on? Can this option be added in future versions if it is not there now?

Thank you for making this app.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I need the actual linux full path, not the one you get in windows when you plug in your phone via USB. Download ES File Explorer and navigate to the NoLED themes folder. On top, you should see the full path. it should be something like (/mnt/sdcard/) or (/mnt/extSdCard) or (/mnt/sdcard/ex_card). I think the ROM you're using have renamed the internal storage path completely, that's why NoLED isn't able to download to or extract content to these folders.

Set the dot moving time to something very large. It's unde "Time and sleep".

Viber is probably updating the status bar often to indicate other tools. You can either look into Viber's setting to disable notifications for non-important messages like checking messages. Or you could use the Filter settings in NoLED. There is a Skype example in the FAQ, I suggest you have a look at it.

You can enable NoLED from Accessibility. That will have the same result: Android won't terminate it in the background when it is RAM starved.

To get rid of that blue dot, go to the Miscellaneous submenu and untick the first option.

If an app does not have Accessibility or does not have a permanent notification in the status bar, then Android will terminate the background process when it needs the extra megabytes. These are stuff in the Android framework that can't be changed.
[Android Apps and Games] jcasares:
Repeating the question because it might have been overlooked...

How can that be done?
[Android Apps and Games] hithere3:
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I've been using this version for about a week now and it hasn't been acting weird like I described. When the notification goes away, it stays away for messages that it's seen. Thanks for looking into this and fixing it so quickly!
[Android Apps and Games] slap_shot_12:
Hootsuite not showing up in app list

Hi there - The app works fine for me, but when I go to set up custom apps Hootsuite is not listed. I get status bar notifications from Android, but the app doesn't show up at all on the noled list. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] wrusry:
NoLED only Blinks once

Hello,

I searched through the (long) thread for this and didn't see this exact situation. Both my wife and I have Samsung Galaxy Exhibit phones. I am running CM9 and she is running Peach Sunrise, which is basically a debloated version of the stock ROM.

Here is the behavior that we are both seeing when the "blink" function is enabled:

When I receive a text (or another triggering event), the noLED will, after a set delay, flash the screen signal that there is a message waiting. I have noLED set for a 5 second pause between flashes. The second time it is set to flash, the whole lock screen shows up as if someone had touched the home button to disable the noLED. Also, just prior to this, the physical key backlights flash. After a few seconds the screen goes black and there is no more "noLED" indicator. I can't figure out what may be wrong. If I have the phone in my pocket with the proximity switch enabled, the blink feature works fine when I bring it out of my pocket. It will blink at the set interval until I awaken the phone.

Is this a known bug, or is there a setting that will function as a workaround.

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] yylyyl:
Here is how it looks like.

It's 4.0.4

View attachment 1421655
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I just installed that app, went to add it and it was there? I'm not sure what the problem is on your device but it seems it's local and not a NoLED bug.

From my experience, this is the behavior when there is either a) a custom lock screen or no lock screen at all or b) have a task killer/manager in the background that terminates apps when the screen goes off. If you're using ICS, you might also want to make sure that developer options are disabled, especially the one related to keeping background processes and activities alive.

did you try to reinstall NoLED? that looks like a firmware bug to me. I am explicitly hiding that status bar in devices running ICS and higher so this shouldn't happen.
[Android Apps and Games] yylyyl:
Yes, perhaps it's a ROM bug?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you said you were on stock though, right? This shouldn't happen in something that is out to the public. But yea, it is most definitely a bug with the rom.

Do you have any apps that are able to successfully go full screen? (not games).
[Android Apps and Games] a123xxsp:
Hello, (to the developer or anyone who knows/tried etc.)

What is the appropriate upgrade procedure?

A)install over the current application?

b) uninstall the previous version & install the new one?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
most appropriate procedure would be to disable NoLED's background services and then perform the upgrade. But A) should work even if you don't disable these services.

Android should handle the transition gracefully. Sometimes it doesn't however, in which case you'll need to uninstall and reinstall.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
I did a search of the thread and looked at the changelog. Is having contact pictures disabled? I can't find it anywhere in the menu. Last I can find mention of it was back in May.:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] tomurbanowicz:
Is any chance to better work NoLED with CM9/CM10?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You have to click on "SMS (click for more options)" under Notifications' settings to see that contacts' photos options.

It should work just fine. Any particular problem with these roms ?
[Android Apps and Games] tomurbanowicz:
Some times does not appear - notifications wake up lockscreen and then does not appear on the lockscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it shouldn't happen. I used CM10 for a while and I wasn't having these issues. I really don't know what could be the issue here. Check the FAQ for an idea on apps that are not compatible with NoLED. Otherwise, reset NoLED's settings to factory default and dismiss notifications with the back key. That's how I'd start my debugging process.
[Android Apps and Games] tomurbanowicz:
I've reseted NoLED to default value - I'm testing now :)
[Android Apps and Games] alezas:
I love this app. Thank you :good:
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Just got to use this and find it pretty good ^^

I'm facing this problem. Not sure if it's supposed to work like this or...when my screen is locked and NoLED lights up when there's a notification, I press the icon and my phone just vibrate. Nothing more. Just vibrate.

Is it supposed to be like this? Shouldn't it be dismissed and bring me to the app or to the unlock screen so I can unlock my phone and let me go to the app?

I have already checked the launch application option.

Long pressing doesn't work too. A toast just pop up - Not found.

Furthermore, my screen doesn't timeout after setting it to 10seconds.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Which icon did you long press on when you got the "Not found"? I'm thinking it's most likely an SMS and you don't have a Samsung device so NoLED's defaults don't work for you. Just go to Notifications' settings and click on SMS (click for more options), then set your launch app there manually.

10 seconds screen timeout? I'm not sure which option you mean.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Thanks for your reply! Will add the SMS option!

I am in Battery Saving features > Notification timeout > 10 seconds. After a new [for example] message arrive, NoLED screen starts up with the notification. However, it doesn't timeout and it goes on a wake lock. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If I set 10 seconds timeout and send myself an email, I receive a notification and 10 seconds later that notification goes away and I get the lock screen. That lock screen times out shortly after and the phone's screen shuts down.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Alright. Sorry my bad. The wakelock only appears when I'm charging my phone. Any way to make it timeout as normal? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
While charging? no. I explicitly set it to forget about most battery saving features when the phone is plugged in.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Oh, I think I didn't set the charging options to only show when fully charged I'm sorry! Really sorry kept asking you stupid questions! Thanks for your help ^^
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
does this still doesn't work with widgetlocker ? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
no problem man :)

it should work now. the best answer to that would be to try and see for yourself. If you got issues with it, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] Pretzel Kleo:
This application is awesome, works perfectly well on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9300 with ARHD 13 :3 Thanks for this :D

[Android Apps and Games] olarf:
I have a question. While this app has problems with the small screen of an Galaxy Y Pro and try to show notifications outside of the screen, it use on the LG P940 (prada) only the upper left square cm of that big screen. Why does that happen and can i change it?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
if you're talking about the dots, then you pretty much can't do anything about it. The dots can only go on the top right or top left. They mimic a physical LED after all.

If the icons are going out of bounds, then it most likely an issue with your ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
Working fine with widget locker :)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
Hi,

I found the option to start the corresponding app to the symbol by pressing the symbol some seconds.

What I would improve are the following things:

I have to press the screen once and afterwards several seconds again until app starts.

The fact that I have to press twice is laborious.

I would prefer a setting to define the time how long to press the icon, because in my opinion it takes too long.

I have the feeling the area of the "pressable shortcut" isn't maching the symbol itself.

What's your opinion?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I agree with you on the first point. I am actually not specifying a double click requirement in code. It seems like its happening because the app shows up on top of a lock screen, so one click is requirement to set it in focus, and then any click that comes after that is registered in the NoLED app correctly. I tried to debug that problem but no matter what I did, the app simply doesn't register the first click at all! It's worth mentioning that this doesn't happen in the emulator either, it seems its something that is specific to samsung based roms. You do have a samsung phone right?

The length of wait is fine I think. I am going to eventually customize that launch apps feature so the wait interval and whether to vibrate or not will be customizable.

The area is fine. If you press with your thumb though, the area you think you're pressing might be a few pixels off and so NoLED won't register the event. That's why I put an initial vibrate to let users know that they've pressed on the icon correctly. Use a big icon if you're having trouble. You can test that rigorously by using a pointier more precise finger than your thumb. I've tested it thoroughly with my mouse and it works fine as long as you hit anywhere in the icon.
[Android Apps and Games] maxpd:
Yes Madmack,

totally right. It's a Samsung!

That would be great! If the energy consumption isn't higher by making the shortcut area bigger, this would be a nice setting too, to define the area ;)

Looking forward to a new version of this yet great app!
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
Hi all :)

I'm using NoLed on my Galaxy S2 and I'm very happy with it, thanks. :good:

Has anybody tried it on the Nexus 7?
[Android Apps and Games] DarkhShadow:
Nexus 7 isn't a AMOLED screen

Sent from my Jelly Nexus S
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It should work. But like DarkShadow said, you'll probably have a heavier battery tax given the lack of AMOLED.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I've set the blink option on for 10seconds and off for 8seconds. However, it doesn't work. It just vibrated my phone that's all. Is it supposed to be like this?
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
Thank you both. :)

[off-topic] Is there an alternative for non-AMOLED screens?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
probably a conflict with another app. most likely a missing lock screen, a task killer or a custom home launcher.

blink should switch your screen on and off at these given intervals.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I'm using Holo Launcher + Holo Locker. No task killer. Conflict? :(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
possible. i haven't received any reports about these two particular apps but it's very likely. disable the locker and see if blink works. If that doesn't work either, then change your launcher temporarily to see if any of them are causing it.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Disabled the locker and change my launcher both at the same time. Still doesn't work. Screen only lights up once and subsequent notification only vibrates. Any workarounds?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
No clue. This doesn't happen on my test devices and on the emulator. Usually symptoms like that are related to launchers,lockscreens or task killers terminating NoLED (not allowing it to stay in the background) when the screen turns off.

Make sure you also disable Developer options if you're using ICS or higher.

What phone/rom are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I'm on Xperia Ray Android 2.3.4 stock rom. Using DoomKernel. Using Holo Locker and Holo Launcher.

Maybe my settings are wrong?

I'll list them down.

Notification Timeout - 1 min

Blink Enabled - On time [5s] - Off time [30s] - White Background [Off]

If there's no way to make it work, then it's okay! Appreciate your help ^^
[Android Apps and Games] Zer0w:
Works perfect on my phone, very handy app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I don't know how to get it to work. You see it works fine for me here and I'm not willing to download and test these apps for you. I'm pretty sure it's a conflict with another 3rd party app. Best way to know for sure is to factory reset your device then install NoLED as the only app. Test blink and it should work. If it doesn't, then I'll provide you with a debug version to see what exactly is going on.
